Sacramento Kings release arena renderings

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)

The Sacramento Kings have released the first completed
renderings of a downtown arena they hope to open for the start of
the 2016-17 season.

The renderings released Tuesday came after six months of
workshops, open houses, town halls and focus groups. The Kings said
a survey soliciting advice from the public yielded more than 20,000
responses.

The renderings show a grand atrium entrance with a
50-by-150-foot window that looks into the arena bowl from the
street. There's a massive scoreboard. The team said the arena,
designed by AECOM, will feature the environmental and technological
innovation of the region.

The city has approved paying $258 million of the project's
estimated $448 million cost. The Kings hope to break ground on the
arena this summer.
